Being an English teacher by day, I have a penchant for semantics. I love language and I continue to be amazed by it and its evolution. I actually like saying that language is dynamic and that this characteristic makes it all the more interesting.
For likeminded people, the blog Semantic Argument will prove to be a delight. While it also serves as the blogger’s personal journal, there are a lot of posts on language and words. I bet that your vocabulary and knowledge of language in general will expand just by regularly visiting this blog! Mind you, it’s not your boring textbook-like treatment. You’ll actually find yourself chuckling every now and then as you read through the posts. Interesting is an understatement. Trust me.

Here’s another personal blog that might catch your fancy. Arlinicious Bliss caught my eye, thanks to the header. Cute red lettering with hearts and wings reminded me of that little mythical creature called Cupid. I am not partial to such designs, but I thought I’d give the blog a look. The tagline made the decision for me: Embrace life, it’s yummy.
Indeed, this personal blog makes you see just how “yummy” life can be. The blog shares tidbits about the Arlini’s life, and you can expect a mixture of lighthearted banter and serious issues. If you are looking for a new personal blog that you might want to follow, check this blog out. You never know, you just might find a new friend. At the very least, you’ll get to have a new experience.

Don’t you sometimes feel like taking a peek into what another person’s life is like? I like people watching. Lately, I have been sitting at the “park” in the afternoons, just relaxing and letting my mind float. There are a few people here and there, and thinking about what their lives may be is an interesting (if wasteful) way to pass time.
Another way by which we can have a glimpse into other people’s lives is through their blogs, and personal blogs are a great way to do that! KELCHENSX is the personal blog of a guy from Singapore, and he infuses humor into his posts neatly. Of course, you’ll still read about mundane things, but you just might enjoy it anyway. Why don’t you take a look for yourself?

Being a parent today is not the easiest thing in the world. Come to think of it, was being a parent ever easy? You have to admit, though, that in spite of the modern time that we live in, parenthood has not really become easier. In fact, it might have become even more complicated!
And that’s what the blog A Southern Woman’s Guide is all about. It chronicles the day to day life of a young stay at home mom. She is besotted with her 9-month-old son, but at the same time tries to juggle other responsibilities like getting her degree online. You may think it’s all about parenthood, but this blog has so much more in terms of insight. There aren’t too many posts yet, but what I have read so far has left a mark; a positive one.

I love the title of this personal blog. The moment I laid my eyes on the words “Will Blog For Cake,” I was hooked. I’d prefer to blog for coffee but I’d blog for cake any day!
Anyhow, this blog is a personal blog in and out. A lot of the posts are very insightful, full of emotions and thoughts. Many of them are written in a very creative manner, diverging from the random rambling of many personal bloggers. It also features a lot of other stuff like movies. Again, the presentation is quite different from the usual feature or review. The blogger has a way with the written word and I think it gives the blog an edge over the plethora of personal blogs you can find online.
